Day 1: Istanbul

Upon arrival in Istanbul, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. After check-in, the remainder of the day is free for you to explore the city at your leisure or relax after your journey.

We start exploring Istanbul's most iconic spots. First, we will visit the Spice Bazaar and shop for traditional Turkish spices, Turkish delights and souvenirs. Then we will take a Bosphorus Tour and enjoy a pleasant journey through the Bosphorus view of Istanbul. Later in the day, we will watch Istanbul from Çamlıca, visit Beylerbeyi Palace and spend free time in Taksim and Istiklal Street. We will end the day at the Galata Tower.

After breakfast, depart for Ankara, passing through the scenic mountains of Bolu. Upon arrival in the capital of the Turkish Republic, enjoy a panoramic tour of the city, highlighting its blend of modernity and ancient culture. The tour includes a visit to Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, where you can also view paintings depicting the Turkish War of Independence. The day concludes with check-in at your hotel in Ankara.

Begin with a panoramic view of Ankara before heading to Salt Lake, Turkey's second-largest lake, which was part of a sea 60 million years ago. The journey then takes you to Pigeon Valley and a visit to a precious jewelry factory. Arrive in Cappadocia, a land sculpted by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, consider an optional balloon ride over Cappadocia's stunning landscape. The day’s exploration includes a visit to the Goreme Valley, a Byzantine complex of rock-carved churches adorned with frescoes. You will also visit the valleys of Avcilar, Uchisar and Love, where the unique volcanic formations known as Fairy Chimneys can be admired. Later, visit traditional workshops for carpets and ceramics. Optionally, you can experience a traditional Turkish night after dinner. Overnight in Cappadocia.

After breakfast, depart early for Pamukkale. Upon arrival, visit the ancient Roman city of Hierapolis, where you can explore its second-century theater, still in use today. Then, marvel at Pamukkale’s natural wonder—white cascading travertine terraces and thermal pools formed by centuries of mineral-rich waters. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay in Pamukkale.

After breakfast, visit the House of the Virgin Mary, believed to be where she spent her last years. Continue to the ancient city of Ephesus, the best-preserved classical city in Asia Minor, where you’ll explore the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian, the Fountain of Trajan, and the grand Roman Theater. Afterward, visit a leather factory with a fashion show before heading to Istanbul. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel in Istanbul.

Start the day with a visit to the Hagia Sophia, once the largest church in the world for over 1,000 years, now the fourth largest, covering 7,000 square meters. Continue to Topkapi Palace, the opulent residence of Ottoman sultans for more than four centuries. The tour also includes the Blue Mosque, renowned for its harmony and elegance, and a visit to the Hippodrome, which still houses the Obelisk of Theodosius, the Serpent Column, and the German Fountain.
